Easy on the Knees
The ToughBuilt GelFit Stabilizer Knee Pads redefine how professionals use their knee pads.
The patented, rock-steady kneepad system allows the Stabilizer SnapShell to be removed entirely or interchanged with other SnapShells to create the exact kneepad you want for the job. Its unique construction creates a wide footprint to the front, sides and rear to eliminate tipping-over, create a stable, comfortable feel, and decrease pressure on the ankles.
The ergonomic gel and foam design incorporates the natural shape of the knee and upper shin, maximizing pressure distribution and providing comfort throughout the day. The EVA elastic leg straps can comfortably maintain its position without cutting off the circulation or being tied behind the knee. n TOUGHBUILT.COM/KNEE-PADS (800) 288-4695
